Wowhead staff was also sent the lovely holiday card from the Blizzard Community team (click to enlarge). The Warcraft CMs have really gotten into the spirit of the holidays, with a lighthearted holiday greetings post featuring incriminating photos in RL versions of Gaudy Winter Veil Sweater. They've even dared players to photoshop the pictures in absurd ways!

It's beginning to look a lot like Feast of Winter Veil! The wonderful folks at Turtle Beach are helping us celebrate once again this year by giving us tons of their headsets to give out just like they did last year!

It's almost time for Feast of Winter Veil again--and what a better way to celebrate than for Wowhead to give you some presents early this year?

We've teamed up with the amazing folks at AMD to give away tons of amazing CPUs just in time for the holidays to give your computer the boost it needs to handle patch 5.1! From now until December 2nd, we're giving away an AMD A8-3850 Desktop APU every single day to a Wowhead user! Then on the final day, we're giving away a grand prize of a AMD A10-5800 Trinity Desktop APU to one lucky Wowhead user--a processor with AMD Radeon™ graphics included that rivals many standalone ones! AMD A-Series processors combine dual-core and quad-core CPUs and AMD Radeon™ Graphics on a single power-efficient chip to enable premium performance and low power consumption

Things are heating up as the Midsummer Fire Festival burns Azeroth--this year it's also coming to Wowhead, in the form of a whole lot of Mists of Pandaria beta keys and two extremely awesome headsets!

Take a break from extinguishing Midsummer Bonfires and search Wowhead's database instead for this year's Midsummer Fire Festival! The fine folks at Blizzard Entertainment have graciously given us tons of Mists of Pandaria beta keys to give away, and if you're really lucky, you could win additional sweet gear from Astro Gaming!

Last week's beta key giveaway was so popular that we decided to do an even larger giveaway! This time, we have 525 Mists of Pandaria beta keys to give away and two Astro A40 headsets! You can even increase your chances of winning with multiple entries including five extra clues over at WoWInterface. Read on to find out more.

The contest begins on June 26th, 2012 and ends on July 5th, 2012. Participants can have up to ten entries in the drawing.

How to Win

This contest is a scavenger hunt of epic proportions. The Wowhead community team has hidden ten Midsummer bonfires all over our database with the help of Blizzard Entertainment and Astro Gaming in our database and it's up to you to collect them all before Midsummer is over! We'll provide you the clues, but you'll have to do the rest of the sleuthing on your own.

For every item you find by visiting its database entry, you'll get entered into the contest through unlocking a special holiday Wowhead achievement. The achievement can be earned up to ten times meaning you have ten chances to win.

Participating is as easy as reading the riddles and going on a hunt through Wowhead's vast database while logged in. Use your own resources and get creative while looking for the answers; try searching for various keywords found in the clues and remember that Google is always your friend. If you get stuck, don't despair--some of them are hard while some are easier than others, so everyone should be able to get at least one entry into this contest.

Oh, and one last tip: we're always looking for the item that teaches a companion pet rather than the spell or direct companion pet.

Here are the ten clues for the Midsummer Bonfires:

You scream, I scream, we all scream for this tasty treat named after two of EverQuest's more famous players. Just don't eat it in front of any little kids. I mean, you wouldn't want to be a bad example or anything.

Grmmurggllmrllggrl--oh, I'm sorry, I was trying to talk with this costume on again! No wonder you couldn't understand me. After all, you've probably never seen it before, it's pretty rare.

Back in vanilla, it was common for your friends to abandon you if you had the misfortune to be caught in this omniscient eyeball's stomach before he was hotfixed to be killable.

While it's no longer best-in-slot like it was during Icecrown Citadel, this trinket's still good for turning you into a variety of Northrend races.

Fans of the Midsummer Fire Festival and vanity pets might wonder what's happened to this scorched friend. He disappeared for a bit, but turns out he just left Ahune's lair to do some dailies. Worth it.

This former world boss earned a much-needed break from intrepid raiders nagging him in Cataclysm when he was retired to a quest NPC, but as of late he's found himself caught in a tragic romance. Serves him right for unleashing a minnow--er, shark--on unsuspecting fishermen.

Feel just like Alexstraza and the rest of her kin by breathing fire at your enemies with this culinary concoction. Too hot? Jump in water to quench the flames it makes you spew.

This little guy looks like a colder cousin to Pebble. He's even harder to get since he's only available during a certain time of the year; don't get a chip on your shoulder if he ices you by not dropping this year!

This guy is pretty dishonest, but if you're too cheap to buy a max flight speed mount, at least he'll give you a slightly used loaner.

We were all extremely sad to see Plaguebloom removed in Cataclysm after it was a popular vanilla herb, but this item should help ease the sorrow.

Solve these ten clues to receive ten entries and ten chances to win the contest!

For the super sleuths out there, WoWInterface is also contributing with five additional clues. Just log into their site using your Wowhead email and password to tackle their five riddles for five additional chances.

If you get stuck on a number you can always ask your friends, Google, or even your guildmates. You can also read the comments here at Wowhead and see if anyone has added another tip! Just make sure you don't post the exact answers here on Wowhead or you'll be disqualified and temporarily banned until the hunt is over.

Be sure to thank both Astro Gaming and Blizzard for helping us have such an awesome giveaway!
